St. Paul’s Hospital

St. Paul’s Hospital is an acute care, teaching and research hospital.

St. Paul’s Hospital is an acute care, teaching and research hospital located in downtown Vancouver. It is home to many world-class medical and surgical programs, including heart and lung services, HIV/AIDS, mental health, emergency, critical care, kidney care, elder care and numerous surgical specialties.

Due to an uprade project, the Burrard Street entrance to St. Paul’s Hospital will be closed to all staff, patients, families and the public until October 2015. During this time, access to the Burrard building will be via the Comox Street entrance.

The project will include hard and soft landscaping to create a better defined, friendlier main entrance to St. Paul’s with a ramp for improved wheelchair and stroller navigation, and a wider pathway for easier access. It will also address some health and safety concerns.

The project is being funded entirely by the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation as one of the projects supported by the donor community.

Please see attached Q&A for additional information about this project.

St. Paul’s Hospital has an underground parking lot, as well as a small open-air lot off Thurlow and Comox streets. Please note that these lots are often full. Disabled parking places are reserved in the underground parking lot near each bank of elevators. In addition, there are several parking lots within walking distance of the hospital.

Although many of our clients are marginalized, burdened by poverty and isolated by addiction and mental illness, these are just folks getting through the day the best way they know how. And in general they manage adequately, day-to-day.
